This ferocious opposition is something even the youngest members of the cast, crew, and leadership at CTC are aware of.

Those who have challenged the book claim that it will encourage boys to wear dresses—to which Brinda replied, “That’s the point.

A big break came for Caine when he was cast as Meff in James Saunders' Cockney comedy Next Time I'll Sing To You, when this play was presented at the New Arts Theatre in London on 23 January 1963. The action flows at a measured pace, with opportunities for the characters, and the audience, to breathe and let the lessons sink in.

In interviews promoting the 2021 film Best Sellers, Caine suggested that he would not make another film, citing difficulty in walking and his new interest in novel-writing developed during the COVID-19 lockdowns.
